  • Patent number: 4450325
    Abstract: An inclination sensitive hand controller comprises a generally cylindrical handle having liquid contact switches mounted at different angles of orientation within the handle. The switches are actuated dependent upon the tilting of the handle from a preselected position. A squeeze responsive control switch is mounted in a non-exposed position within the handle. This switch is activated or deactivated upon squeezing of the handle to control connection and disconnection of electrical power to the tilt switches. An exposed finger- depressible switch is mounted at one end of the handle which independently controls other circuits than the circuits controlled by the tilt switches and the squeeze responsive control switch.
